    When using MyFitnessPal am I supposed to eat the calories I burn when I exercise?

    Are you entering the calories you burn during your workout into my fitness pal? There should be something you can click on that says track exercise. Once you put your exercise for the day in it will automatically adjust the calories you can eat for the day to reflect this. Mine will normally...

    How to get a career in fitness off the ground??

    Do you have a gym that you already belong to or one in mind that you would like to work at? Maybe you could start there - see if they host any instructor training classes, go to classes and meet other instructors, get CPR certified. I do think it helps if you have a gym that you go to so that...

    Remembering Sean O'Malley

    I am another person who has been completely inspired and motivated by Coach Sean. I thought there was nothing that would ever make me want to run or actually grow to love running until I tried his workouts. As someone who at times has a lot of self-doubt in my head, I found his words to be...

    Joe Paterno

    According to the Grand Jury report there were two parents who knew and reported it to authorities. In one case the parent reported it to the high school of the boy and that school reported it to authorities. It is sickening that one of the incidents reported to authorities was way back in...

    Joe Paterno

    I too am a parent of two wonderful children and also a Penn State graduate. I totally agree with you. What Sandusky did was horrific, disgusting, I can't even find more words to describe. What the victims and their families have gone through, and will continue to go through is horrible...

    BFFM and Cardio

    I've had BFFM for probably about 5 years now and love it too! I've done the early morning fasted cardio at times, but if it made a difference I didn't think it was a noticeable one. I am with you, working out on a completely empty stomach doesn't feel right to me either. The same workouts...

    South Beach, Eat Clean, The Zone, WW???

    Hi Pam, Out of those choices I would personally pick Eat Clean (but I've never done WW). My favorite clean eating book is Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle by Tom Venuto. He just gives so much more detail on how to make it work for you and what to do if you hit a plateau. Although I do also...

    Four Seasons?

    Hi Cathe, Is is still possible to get a day guest pass for the Four Seasons and take one of your classes? I did this 3 years ago and had a blast. I will be in your area again soon. I viewed the group exercise schedule online. Should I call the Four Seasons to double check? Thanks so...

    Diet Soda

    I think they are saying that because of the artificial sweetners. The OBGYN I have now was a lot more conservative than the one I had 5 years ago and did tell me to avoid artificial sweetners. I'm not sure I think it is that big of a deal, but I did switch to regular soda when I wanted to have...

    BFFM Holiday Challenge

    I signed up too and definitely plan on taking pictures and measurements. I am on the fence about posting them though. I may just do it as a challenge for myself.

    Bulky muscles?

    You could also try replacing your cereal (not sure what kind you are eating) with old fashioned or steel cut oatmeal and replacing your wheat bread with sprouted grain bread like Food for Life Ezekiel. Sometimes just keeping a food journal and counting up your calories can be helpful. Maybe...

    Biggest Loser OUTRAGE--SPOILER!!

    http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/showtracker/2009/02/danes-marathon.html Apparently Dane did not finish the marathon. He was driven to the finish line by someone from Biggest Loser and then he crossed. It is very dissapointing that the show couldn't just focus on his accomplishments rather...

    Eating program with STS?

    I've used the Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle way of eating in the past with success. I am sort of following it now, but not very strictly. I am eating the 5 meals with a mix of protein, carbs, and fat but not counting calories. I am also allowing myself some cheats. I wish I were following it...

    Biggest Loser OUTRAGE--SPOILER!!

    This season actually seems like one of the more tame ones to me. Past shows have had a lot more gameplay. Compared to Vicky and Heba from last season these constestants seem very nice. Vicki and Heba were just mean. I do think there is a lot of behind the scenes stuff too. I am sure the...

    Crib vs. Bed When to switch?

    We waited until our son figured out how to climb out of the crib before we changed to a bed, he was a little over 2. We did use the crib converted to the toddler bed, but put a rail on the open side. It covered most of the side, but left a big enough opening for him to get in and out of the...

    more nursing woes...

    I totally agree. There is a tremendous amount of pressure these days for breastfeeding. Not only in what you read, but from those you know and even complete strangers. I've had strangers come up to me and make comments or ask questions on what I am feeding my child. My firstborn...

    Potty Training tips,advice!

    I am FINALLY having success potty training my son (he will be 4 in two months). I felt like I tried just about every reward/treat, but nothing motivated him. He just wanted to go in his pull up. He is also pretty stubborn Finally I just had to say no more pull ups. I decided to spend an...

    Argh!!! How do you BFFMers do it?!?

    Are you sure you are counting the protein in everything you are eating? 1 cup of dry oatmeal has 10g of protein. Maybe you could try more grains that have protein in them like Quinoa (it is really good). If you want to post what you typically eat or like to eat maybe others would have...
